My 2012 CRV consumes about half a quart of oil every 3,000 miles (or 5,000 km). You think that’s excessive consumption for this generation of CRVs? Great content!
O Boi the 2011 and now a 14. 😀 I have the '12 of the same car. How much does Honda charge for an oil consumption test? Mine burns almost half a quart within 1000 bud.
Yes it's just a little tricky timing it right. Some older accords and crvs I wanna say around 2014-2015 really like to clatter the VTC for a second or two in first start up after an oil change, I really only do this to those to try and prevent that. It's not the end of the world if it clatters like that for a second or 2 but it will wear it out over time a wee bit. Older Honda VTC actuators are a very common issue. It wears out over time from maintenance neglect or leaving the vehicle sitting too long. Oil leaks out of the mechanism and it takes a while for oil to pump back into it so it slaps back and forth until it has proper pressure.
